| A good location for GA would be the Washington DC Metro area. That area is beautiful. Also the national mall museums are free. No Mickey Mouse ðŸ ðŸ getting your money. 💵 There is a ton to do in Washington DC. I could also see a national emphasis in praying for awakening in America. Think mission USA Take America back for JESUS. There is a lot of convention space in dc and 3 large major airports where the entire country could fly into. I could see this happening. |

| AND - COG teen talent could book the 4H club national HQ - they have tons of rooms - cafeteria - and the price might be right. In Chevy Chase - MD.And with all the evangelical leaders hanging out at the White House - perhaps some of them could stop by the convention |

| Back in the early 2000s I attended the Assemblies of God General Conference in downtown DC. It was amazing, they used at least three different buildings - one for General Sessions - one for Exhibitions (including the newest media equipment and a stage to try it out on and record) - one for Youth Services - all were located near each other near the Capital building. They had outreach events and youth activities going on in the Mail. DC is a great place to visit. Their business was interesting, they had a Parliamentarian and Roberts Rules seemed to rule. During the business they would have interludes in which honors and awards were given out. The night I was there they had a Parade of Nations with missionaries dressed in native attire and carrying the national flags.I have never seen so many young people at such an event - I think they ran their national youth conference simultaneous with the General Conference. |

| I think this is a great idea. I lived there for a few years and said everyone should visit DC (BUT NEVER WORK THERE).It would also be a good time to see some congressmen and for them to see many of their voters are conservative Christians.I like it!

| I would be in favor of a yearly conference in the COG. I think 4 yrs is the wrong direction. Winter fest is every yr. we need to model what works in the cog. Winter fest is the best example of what works for the COG. Why can’t there be a yearly conference where the cog puts on its best for the sake of the church?. Surely not every meeting has to be a business meeting. I think that would help energize the base of the cog. Going to four year GA is a situation where our political leaders think if they meet less they won’t be so opinionated. Not true if we meet less we simply will just stop existing. I don’t want us to stop existing. Less meetings means we just simply won’t exist. That energy of opinion gives our organization life and if we kill that We would just be killing ourselves. We have to get back on track. We also need to be distinctly Pentecostal. This Diet Coke non offensive vanilla boarderline baptist speakers of the last couple of years needs to stop. We need powerful spirit filled spirit affirming speakers. Is it sad to say was more excited by the rise conference line up then the last few years of the general assembly line up. At least these speakers affirm the Pentecostal lifestyle. Some of our past speaker made me just wonder what are we... I am excited that jentzen is speaking. |

| The A/G ran Teen Talent and Bible Quiz at the same time when I was a teenager. We all had a big meeting together. The crowd looked like candidates for a beauty contest |

| Ag runs their teen talent, Fine Arts, every year. Or does not meet with the adults every time. Also, they let everyone with a superior go to fine arts national. They don't limit it to 2 from each state...so they potentially have lots more competitors |

| I think the DC idea is fantastic! I wonder if they would have a simultaneous pro-life march for the lower levels of the COG, and an LGBT/Feminism/Safe-Space march for the intelligentsia? Something for everyone! |

| Perhaps Pathway could also sell P***Y hats for Lee professors to buy to lead the COG LGBT/Feminism march |
